    Trouble Adding New Hard Drive


    I'm trying to add a new hard drive and am having problems.

    I can see the drive in Device Manager, but it is not showing up in Disk Management. Also, when I go to DiskPart > List Disk it isn't showing.

    I've tried updating the driver in Device Manager and I've also Uninstall Device in Device Manager and tried to re-add. I've also tried to add it to another Windows 10 machine with the same results. The disk appears to be spinning/powering up correctly.

    The drive is new. It's never been formatted. It is showing up in the BIOS of both machines.

    Any ideas?

    :)

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
